Paul is warning, not about secular, but other religions. "After the rudiments of the world"; there are religious observations created by Christ for his people to follow, and there are religious observances created by worldly man. We are to stick to those practices created by Jesus. Lent, Christmas, Easter, Sunday sabbath, are all religious traditions and observations created by man. We are to change from the worldly man and repent of worldly ways, and turn to the religion Jesus and His followers observed. You will see what the Word means when it says "The world is the enemy of God" when you follow God's ways.
